Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Sunscreen and insect repellant are a must for outdoor activity but for simplicity,
put up with the discomfort and wear long sleeved shirts and a hat. For unknown reasons
few of us ever put sunscreen on often enough or thoroughly enough for it to be any
good and avoid insect bites, your health depends on it. |

Ensign Notes
|
| Summer holidays: That's right, 2003 is the first year since 1991 that we have had
a chance to take a holiday. During June, July and the first two weeks of August we
will have some intermittant days when Ensign will not post. Our plan is to do some
tripping and camping here in Saskatchewan.Will be posting today, then off on another
camping trip. Today we hear more about same sex marriage and some conservatives voice
their concerns about Stephen Harper. |

 No means no!, Harper's cynical
approach, and the Doctrine enunciated- Thursday, June 19, 2003
by: Dale Swirsky, Thomas Curran and Joe Hueglin
Unless you are an Alberta separatist few Canadians have much love for the sardonic
Stephen Harper but this week he seems to have truly moved over the line and drawn
a good deal of displeasure from members of the Progressive Conservative Party. Though
each of these stories have a different direction to the condemnation we can see that
Harper has ruffled some feathers and combined the three give a good picture of why.

the bigoted Saskatoon police- Thursday, June 19, 2003
by: Mario deSantis

 Tunnel Vision- Thursday, June 19, 2003
by: Sherri Northcott
We are very fortunate to be able to bring you this story. Fear and confusion seem
to come from things we know nothing about and in this story we have a first hand
explanation as to why the courts have made the decisions that have about same sex
marriage. Time to widen our view.

 The scientific governmental approach to
public policies and the Iraq war: Continuous Statistical Polling- Wednesday, June 18, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
If you ask a question it appears that the process in itself will develop an opinion
that matches the views of the questioner. By polling continously and acting upon
the polling results ignorance and misimformation become the means of government.
